What is the equation of the line passing through the origin and (2, 10)?

Check the final answer first, then review the worked steps.

Step-by-step solution

The line passes through (0,0) and (2,10). The slope is $m = (10-0)/(2-0) = 10/2 = 5$. Since the line passes through the origin, the y-intercept is 0. Thus, the equation is $y = 5x$.
